State 007: Pricing Awareness as a Functional Track

State 007-pricing-awareness-market-data extends 006-observability-lgtm-compose and marks the first major functional expansion after the NATS messaging upgrade.

This state adds pricing awareness to trade execution, persistence, and portfolio presentation, while preserving the existing end-to-end trading flow.

Why This State​

The system previously handled quantities and securities but had no execution pricing context in persisted trades or aggregated positions.
State 007 introduces that missing functional layer and keeps it realtime via NATS topics.

What Changed​

  • Added a new price-publisher component that emits random-walk quotes per ticker on pricing.<TICKER>.
  • Stamped execution price on trade submission in trade-service.
  • Persisted price on trades and volume-weighted average cost basis on positions in trade-processor.
  • Extended schema to include TRADES.Price and POSITIONS.AverageCostBasis.
  • Updated Angular blotters to show trade price, relative execution time, position value, cost basis, and net P&L totals.

Verification and Regression Coverage​

  • State-specific smoke suite: ./scripts/test-state-007-pricing-awareness-market-data.sh
  • Realtime checks validated:
    • account trade stream
    • account position stream
    • pricing stream (pricing.IBM)
  • Persistence checks validated:
    • trade.price is populated
    • position.averageCostBasis is populated
  • Baseline overlay smoke tests also pass under the state runtime to ensure no regressions in prior behavior.
